Ian Royal Are you seriously trying to claim that your prediction was that at some point in his career he'd score one of 30 goals in League One, 20 goals in the Championship or 10 goals in the PL? Bullshit.
ABSOLUTELY. The following is the precise post, word-for word. Which bit is hard for you? At the time of posting (Feb 2009) Shane was playing in The Championship for Reading FC. I was insisting he was going to be a very good player and would play, eventually, in The premiership. BUT AT THAT TIME NOBODY KNEW for certain if he's stay with RFC in the Championship, drop a league, or, eventually do well in the V+Championship and be sold to a Premiership outfit. To many, they were sure Shane would be sold and I was saying it would be a huge mistake.
I "nailed my colours to the mast" (unlike you, IR, who hedges every bet and goes with the prevailing wind.)
Here it is again. It is UTTERLY clear, UTTERLY clear that I was saying this or this or this. How could it be otherwise?

You might be right, and he will then become a top player elsewhere
I go on record as saying if he leaves Reading and avoids a serious injury he will score
10 Premiership goals OR 20 Championship goals OR 30 League One goals in a season.
Now ian, you do SEE those "ors"?
In the following season Shane clearly broke the 20-goal mark in the championship so that's a yes.You are such a weasel. Just man the oxf*rd up; admit you got how good he was wrong, that he's never reached your level of expectation when playing in the PL and get the hell over yourself you ungracious arse.
Pea-Brain, I realise you don't know the difference between AND and OR, but to say I'm weasling is plain stupid. I went and dug out the quote from a locked thread. If I was weasling, I would have just left it there.
I predicted he would have a 20+ goal Championship Season. He did.
Approximately the ratios for the three leagues are 10-20-30
This has only re-arisen because clowns like you have morphed what I EXACTLY said into me saying "Shane Long WILL score 10 goals in the premiership." Check your oxf*rd facts and learn what "or" means.
